Meet Blake Herro from 30 SECONDS by Chrys Fey

Okay, folks, we're in for a real treat today. Chrys Fey has agreed to let me interview the male lead in her romantic suspense 30 SECONDS. If ever there as a hero properly named, it's Blake Herro. Let's see what he has to say for himself.

Welcome, Blake. Please
introduce yourself for those who haven’t met you yet.

Well, I have only appeared in one of Chrys Fey’s books, 30 Seconds, but
she’s telling me that I may appear in another story, so that sounds promising. Anyway...Hi,
everyone! My name is Blake Herro and I am a police officer for Cleveland, Ohio.
I went undercover in the Mob and put my life, as well as an innocent woman’s
life, in danger. I hadn’t meant to, but Dr. Dani Hart just happened to stumble
into my mess.

A police officer, huh? So what was your
first thought when you met Dani Hart?

I thought she was going to get herself killed. Of course she didn’t know
there were armed mobsters in the building, but she didn’t help herself when she
made all of that racket and alerted the mobsters to her presence. I serve and
protect the people, so of course I had to do something to save her. How, you
ask? I tackled her. Do you blame me?

I think the jury is out on that one. Why did you fall for Dani?

How could I not? And believe me when I say I tried to ignore my feelings.
I’m cop first, and a man second, but Dani is unique. She loves rock music,
horror movies, and she can handle whatever the Mob throws at her. That’s my
kind of woman!

She certainly sounds like a woman of steel. Why did you choose your occupation?

There was never a doubt that I would be a police officer. People say
certain professions are their callings, and that’s what joining the police
force was to me...a calling. And with the Mob boss, Red, wrecking havoc on
Cleveland, I knew I had to do something to stop him and his motley crew.

Do you have
any hobbies?

Sure, I do. Although I’m not a chef, I like to cook. Dani was surprised
to find me at the stove so often. *chuckles*

Thanks, Blake. Now here's more about his story.

Blurb:

When Officer Blake Herro agreed to go undercover in the
Mob, he thought he understood the risks. But he's made mistakes and now an
innocent woman has become their target. He's determined to protect her at all
costs.

The Mob's death threat turns Dr. Dani Hart's life upside
down, but there is one danger she doesn’t anticipate. As she's dodging bullets,
she's falling in love with Blake. With danger all around them, will she and
Blake survive and have a happy ending, or will the Mob make good on their
threat?

She
panted with fear. What if they see the
chest? What if we get caught? What if my breath stinks and I’m breathing right
into Officer Hottie’s face? She shut her mouth and let oxygen flow through
her nose.

Her
eyesight slowly adjusted to the darkness and she could see Officer Herro’s
silhouette. His head was turned and he was listening to the thuds of heavy
boots getting louder; the intruders were coming their way.

Then
the thunder of footsteps sounded right next to them. “There’s no one here,
Red,” someone announced.

“Look
for documents,” a man ordered, who Dani could only assume was Red. “I want the
name of the person I’m going to kill.”

A
moment later, there was a reply. “All the mail is addressed to a Dr. Hart.”

Hearing
her name said aloud by one of the men who had ransacked her place made her want
to gasp. Her mouth fell open and her breath was reversing into her lungs, but
before she could make a sound, Officer Herro lowered his lips to hers,
silencing her. Stunned, she could only lie beneath him with her eyes wide and
her body tense. She couldn’t believe he was kissing her. She wanted to push him
back, but knew if she did he might hit the inside of the chest, giving away
their hiding place. That was when she realized he was kissing her so she
wouldn’t gasp.

She
let her body relax. After her initial shock faded, she was able to feel his
lips. They were comforting and caused a reaction deep inside her. She couldn’t
stop her lips from reacting to his. It was an innocent connection, a soft touch
of lips. Until his hand slid from her shoulder to her neck and the kiss
deepened into something else.
